THE CENTRAL's NEW OFFICES.
The New Office Building to be Occupied
Next Week.

The new Office building which the Central
Railroad Company has just erected will be
ready for occupancy by the middle Of next
week and then there will be general
moving and shifting Of offices. The build
ing has been badly needed for the road has
outgrown its old quarters and its offices
have been crowded and scattered.
The new building is of brick and in the
front are inserted terra Gotta tiles bearing
the name of the company and the year OF
the erection of the building. Within it is
finished in natural woods The basement is
on the level of the freight yard, below the
street, but it is spacious and airy. The
rooms are large and the ceiling is twelve
feet high, making the quarters most delight
full. Above the basement are two floors
On the left of the hallway, on the first
floor, are General Freight Agent White
heads offices. His private Office and his
Secretary's room are in front, and behind
them are his clerks Offices.
On the right of the hall are General Pas
senger Agent Charlton's Office and the rooms
for the clerks in his department. In the
western end of the building are two large
rooms where the checking will be done
The rooms in the second floor will be occu-
pied by the statistical department and some
of the Comptroller's clerks. These depart
ments require a large force of clerks and
plenty of desk room, so the upper floor has
been divided into but four rooms in order
to provide for their want of desk room.
In the basement Paymaster Minis will
have his Office, and the remainder of the
floor will be occupied by the local freight
office and Mr.. Cubbedge's private Office.
The concentration of the local freight
department in one building is where the
greatest benefit of all will be obtained. At
present there is portion in the warehouse,
another at the wharves and another in the
general office building This division causes
not only inconvenience but expense, which
will be saved by having all the offices in one
building.
When the changes have been made the
old building will contain the offices of the
general officers, the new building the traffic
department, and the passenger depot will be
the division headquarters. The company
will also make other improvements to
beautify the grounds The fence between
the two buildings will be lowered, and the
ground between them laid out in garden
in the centre of which a fountain will be
placed. The old building will be painted up
and the whole place rendered as attractive
as possible.

ROBBERY ON THE WEST SIDE
The Way Little Jones Street Bur-
glary Was Discovered.


Thieves entered the store of J. L. Brauss,
on Little Jones and West Broad streets,
shortly after IL o'clock yesterday morning
and robbed the place of about $500 worth of
clothing, boots and Shoes jewelry and cut
lery. Officer H. NJ Morgan was walking
along the street on the opposite side and he
saw a man named Peter Stapleton stagger
up the street and enter BrauSs' store. The
officer followed him, and by the time he got
into the store Stapleton had seated himself
in a chair and gone to sleep. The officer
saw that the door had been broken open,
and he suspected that burglary had been
committed, so he took Stapleton in on sus-
picion. He awakened Brauss and they made
an examination, which showed the re-
suit of the robbery. The door had
been broken in with an iron bar,
which was found lying on the sill. Staple
ton was up before the Mayor yesterday
morning, but he proved that he had been in
a neighboring saloon all the evening, and
had not left it until just before Officer Nor
gan saw him. He started home, but seeing
Brauss' door open and the light within, he
went in to go to sleep, not knowing what he
was doing He was released. Brauss says
he thinks the burglary was committed by
three colored men who were in the store Just
before he closed up, and who acted very sus-
piciously examining carefully several arti-
Giles of clothing, iewelry and other things,
some of which are now missing.

CIRCUS FAKIRS FLOWN.
Roche and Wright Released on Bond
and Skip Out.

A P. Roche and G. W. Wright, the cir
Gus fakirs, who were arrested for cheating
and swindling, have flown. They have been
released and have left, probably to join the
circus, wherever it may be.
They were committed to Jail by Justice
Naughtin. Roche and Wright wanted to
get out under bond of 800 each, and the
Justice consulted Solicitor General duBignon
about it. The Solicitor told him not to ac-
cept such bond, as a bond was for the pur-
pose of securing the return of man who was
released from Jail when he had been charged
with a crime for which he was to be tried.
He said that bond of 500 amounted TO
nothing; that these men only wanted to get
out under bond to leave. They did not
mind FORGETTING 500 bond to avoid pun
ishment and detention. The Solicitor left
for Darien, and when he returned he learned
that the Justice had received the bonds of
500 and permitted the men to go. The
likelihood of their being heard from again
is slim

A CoNvICTs KNIFE THRUST.
A Chain-Gang Graduate Tries to XII
His Companion.

His Companion.
Sam Williams is a notorious young black
thief who was released yesterday from the
chain-gang, where has just served a six
months sentence He was out of the
chains only a few hours before he had a
pair of handouts on and was in Jail again.
This time he is under a more serious charge.
Williams and John Allen Jones, young
colored boy, got into quarrel on Bryan
street, near the Market Jones threatened
Williams, and the latter drew knife and
stabbed his companion in the forehead,
cutting deep cash over the
right eye. Jones staggered and
Williams followed up his knife thrust with
a heavy blow with his fist. The knife wound
was deep and bled so that Jones was unable
to see for a time. He got as far as the City
Dispensary, where DIR. Cass dressed his
wound and he was then taken to his home.
Williams ran, after the stabbing, but
was arrested by Constable Nathans and
taken before Justice Sheftall. He
admitted the stabbing and was COM
mitted to Jail under the charge
of assault with intent to murder, to await
the action of the grand jury. Williams is a
hard character. When he was arrested he
made a thrust at Constable Nathan's
throat, but the officer was too quick for
him, and had him fast in a jiffy. On his
way to Jail he caused the officers a good
deal of trouble. His chances are good for a
term in the penitentiary

LAST MONTHS WEATHER.
The Lowest Temperature and Least
Rainfall Record for November.

The Lowest Temperature and Least
Rainfall Record for November.
November was, meteorologically, an unu-
sual month. Signal Observer Salisbury, in
his report to the Washington Bureau, gives
some interesting statistics in regard to the
weather which was out of the usual order
of things.
The mean barometer for the month was
about .06 inches above the normal. The
barometer on the Both read 30.49, which is
the highest reading recorded at this station
in seventeen years. The mean temperature
was 56.4', which was 1.5' below the normal
The highest temperature was 49,. The
lowest was $3.50 on the 21st, which is the
lowest temperature for this month ever re-
corded here.
The total rainfall for the month was 20
inches, being two inches below the average
November rainfall, and also the least ever
recorded here for this month. There has
been a remarkable deficiency in rainfall
during the entire year, the total amount be-
ing only b. - inches since Jan. l. Observer
Salisbury, in his November report, gives the
following summary:
Mean barometer, 30.113.
Highest barometer, LAO.
Lowest barometer, 2972.

LOOKED LIKE A LEPER.
A Sick Man at Police Barracks Gives
Rise to Startling Report.

Rise to Startling Report.
A good many people were scared last
night by the report that a man afflicted
with leprosy had come to the city on Thurs
day from South Carolina The mans name
is Elias Cohen. He is from Lawtonville, S.
c., but had. until last Saturday, been saw
ing wood at Station No. |, on the Central
railroad He was compelled by sickness to
quit work and come to Savannah to gain
admission to the hospitals. He walked
from the Central depot to DR.. Duncans
Office and applied for a permit to enter the
hospital. DIR. Duncan sent him to the
police barracks with a note addressed to the
Mayor saying that Cohen's sores looked like
leprosy, and no advised that he be
sent back to his home. Dr.
Duncan did not, however, say that
the man had leprosy or give
a professional opinion. His advice was
acted upon and Cohen was comfortably
quartered at the barracks to await the time
to start.
DR.. Charlton heard of the case and went
to the barracks to see it, He found that
Cohen's back was covered with small sores,
his legs, hands and feet were sore and
swollen. His feet were almost raw but still
he walked and not with much difficulty,
though it was painful. He carried his shoes
in his hand and had on his back two
blankets. DR.. Charlton took an amateur
photographer to the barracks with him and
photographed different parts of Cohen's
body. He did not pronounce it case OF
leprosy, however, at the barracks. Cohen
was taken to the depot at train time and
was given passage back to Lawtonville. S. C.
Cohen has been here three times before,
and each time he has been patient in st.
Joseph's lnfirmary, where he has been
treated by DIR. Ohveros, who stated last
night that Cohen had nothing but bad
case of blood poison from mal-nutrition.
One other physician saw him at the depot,
and he also said that it was not case of
leprosy. Cohen is by this time in Lawton-
villa
